Moses - Signs, Sacraments, and Salvation

Tonight we began the two parts series on Moses. The host, Steve Ray, is a best-selling author and popular Bible teach. We watched chapter 1 and 2 and saw many of the places Moses is thought to have visited thousands of years ago.

Chapter 1:
Steve first reviews the time when the children of Israel became slaves in the land of Egypt. As the Israelites continued to grow in number, the king of Egypt feared their growing size and instructed the midwives to kill new born boys.

The classic story of Moses' birth, placing in the basket in the Nile River, and being found by the Pharaoh's daughter is told. Moses is given his name which means "I drew him out of water".

Moses grows up in the pharaoh's family.

After he was grown, he one day he witnesses an Egyptian severely beating of one of Moses' kinsmen. Moses kills the Egyptian, buries him in the sand, and flees to Midian. (Exodus 2:11-12)
